Apparently it's a bigass iPhone minus the phone tablet, and it starts at the "affordable" price of $499.
Thoughts?
Personally, I think it's just going to be another fashion accessory for rich poop holes.
I can get a netbook for that much, or a cheap laptop with more memory and processing speed than that thing. Max is 64GB storage, and the 64GB variety is supposed to cost somewhere near $1000. No thanks.
64 gb for 1000.
160 gb netbook for 300.
Hmm.

But yeah I'm not surprised. It's apple we're talking about. To my guess, It'll blow at the beginning but later have things to make it useful
...Or just blow.

Just because it's old doesn't mean it doesn't prove a point.

Well, fjskadfjadsklf.
Knew about this about a month ago.
I'LL JUST KEEP MY IPOD TOUCH, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. iPAD IS A SHITTY NAME, BY THE WAY.
Brrrrrr, I'm cold. ;D
I predict that they'll release two different versions of the iPad. A thick, wide, black version for men, and a slim, thin, white version for the women.
Whatever. Big and ugly. I already have and iTouch and a laptop.
*deep breath*
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
OH ZAT SLAPS ME ON ZEE KNEE.
Terrible idea. Absolutely terrible.
Then again, there's the macfags that buy every piece of Apple technology, so yeah, Apple won't lose money.
There are no words to express my apathy.
That is all. I can do without a slightly bigger iTouch.
I cannot unhear this in a Coach Z accent.

i not hear much about that, is news to me. i say apple is good company but is not cut out for glorious russia.
Let's see, my netbook with a hell of a lot more memory and processing power for the same price, or a fancy screen with a browser... yipee...

that "joke" is even older then this news
The iPad is pretty shoddily done, as indicated by almost all reviewers and critics. Typing is bulky and uncomfortable, there's no way to run two applications simultaneously, and of course there's the ridiculous price tag associated with otherwise inexpensive flash memory. It's a fumble that was designed to "kill the PC," but won't do so in this initial run. Hopefully they'll learn when they release the second version.

I couldn't resist.
That was always the best iPod parody.
For the most part people are willing to buy anything with an I in front of it.
Apple - 'We have our own money tree!'
those kotaku articles were written yesterday and today

Are you kidding?
This is an apple product with the letter 'i' in front of it.
Praising/complaining about it won't be out of date until the intercourse ing object itself is obsolete.
...
Apple, you're stupid.

uh i meant the news about it being unveiled is still not old
I told myself I wouldn't get a Netbook, but a netbook seems more useful than the iPad does.
So, I'm not getting either.
So despite what all the Apple fanboys were saying, the iPad is just an iTouch with a bigger screen....
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA..... oh man Apple needs to die
Steve Jobs and the Reality Distortion Field strike again.
Part of me really hates the iCrap.
Another part really wants Steve Jobs to release the iToaster.
Just to see the effect.
